Why choose lift truck rental?

Renting a lift truck is a flexible, cost-effective option when you need reliable lifting capacity without the cost of purchase and long-term maintenance. Lift Group offers a range of machines, from compact forklifts to telehandlers, backed by inspection and on-call support.

When to rent vs. buy

• Short-term projects or seasonal demand — rent to avoid idle assets.
• Testing different models before committing to a purchase.
• Urgent replacement for downtime on a critical site.
• When you prefer predictable operating costs and included maintenance.

How to choose the right lift truck

Match machine capability to your tasks. Consider capacity, lift height, terrain and attachments.

1. Capacity and lift height

Choose a lift truck with rated capacity comfortably above your typical load and enough lift height for racks or stacking requirements.

2. Power type

• Electric: best for indoor use and low emissions.
• Diesel/LPG: suitable for outdoor, heavy-duty work.
• Hybrid options for mixed environments.

3. Terrain and tires

For rough ground, select pneumatic tires and a robust chassis (telehandlers or rough-terrain forklifts). For smooth warehouse floors, cushion tires work well.

4. Attachments and accessories

Fork extensions, side shifters, or specialized clamps can improve productivity—ask Lift Group about available options.

Pricing, rental terms and services

Understand the rental agreement before signing. Typical elements include:

• Daily, weekly and monthly rates
• Delivery, pickup and setup fees
• Damage waiver and insurance options
• Maintenance responsibilities and on-site support

Practical tips

Simple steps to avoid delays and extra cost:

1. Measure load sizes and clearances before ordering.
2. Specify indoor vs. outdoor use to get the correct power type.
3. Book in advance for peak seasons to ensure availability.
4. Request operator training if your team is unfamiliar with the model.
5. Keep a basic inspection checklist for daily safety checks.
